When the Tini and me were in NY we stopped
in by the amazing Morning Breath studio.
They were in the process of working on a
big Absolut bottle for an "Absolut Blank"
series which the fine results of can now
be seen over here.

As though the work of Noma Bar is not
already nice enough he's gone and created
a machine shaped like one of his most famous
works that you can go and get your own
die-cut artwork from.
It's going to part of "Cut It Out" and will be
on display at Outline Editions in London
from 17th September.

After last weeks chaotic scenes in the UK
and the disasterous PIAS fire in London,
Finders Keepers, Twisted Nerve, Bird and
Battered Ormnaments (who lost 90% of their
stock) have created a "Make Do And Mend"
series of compilations. The initial set are
selected by Jarvis Cocker, David Holmes,
Gruff Rhys and Demdike Stare and go
through their favourite tracks, remixes and
edits from the back catalogues of these
labels and are only £5 each. Bargain.

More skateboarding stuff and this time
a new film by Florian Schneider called
"Pushed" which features the influence
riding a skateboard has had on their lives
as well as their art. It focuses on Adam Sello,
Pontus Alv, Stefan Marx and one of my
all time favourites, Bobby Puleo.
The trailer can be seen here and
Skate Malmö has a good write up
on it over here.

To celebrate it's tenth anniversary Focus
are throwing a wee shindig this Thursday
and have created a special edition t-shirt
and print courtesy of my friend Tommy.
It starts at 7.30 but space is limited so
get on it.

Other Criteria are having a sale of decks that
Damien Hirst has created for Supreme over
the years. The difference being Hirst has also
drawn on these versions.
If you fancy one, online cheque books at the
ready from this Wednesday (13th).

Next Friday (15th) The Fruitmarket Gallery
is hosting a DesignMarket which will feature
a host of locals selling their wares in various
mediums. It opens at 5pm on Friday and runs
until Sunday 17th and would be well worth
a peek I'm sure.

I'm liking the look of "Monokrome", a book
of black and white sketches, line art and other
media by a worldwide selection of graffiti
writers including Remi/Rough, Inkie,
System and Kofie. It's on pre-order at the
moment over here.

This Tuesday the Supra team hit
Edinburgh skate park for what is
bound to be a session worth checking.
The team coming has all the big
timers on Supra including Muska
and Tom Penny.Focus have the full details here.
